Bolivar Central and Community In Schools Name September Students of the Month
Bolivar Central High School (BCHS) teachers in partnership with Communities In Schools® (CIS®) are recognizing students each month during the 2024/2025 school year. Students should exemplify responsibility, leadership, honesty, good citizenship, self-control, and excellent character. BCHS recognized students A’Riyah Allen, Jabria Hoyle, Amira Northern, and Mollie Nuckolls for September as having those qualities.
“Communities In School surrounds students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school, and achieve in life,” said Marquita Lewis, who is the Community in Schools program manager at Bolivar Central High.
Each student that was recognized felt honored, values education, and understands the responsibility of being named as a Student of the Month.
A’Riyah Allen is a sophomore whose favorite subject is psychology. The one thing she likes about BCHS is the teachers.
“I think the importance of being recognized as Student of the Month is it allows the school to create a positive culture. Students are able to see your progress and hard work. This will motivate others to strive for excellence, so that they can be recognized as well,” said A’Riyah. “Being recognized is a way to boost the self-esteem and motivation of students. Students need to know that their hard work is not being unnoticed. It’s the small things that can make a person’s day.”
Jabria Hoyle is a senior whose favorite subject is English. She is involved in cheering, Club 25, Beta Club, History Club, Spirit Club, Book Club, FTA, and is a Girls State Delegate. The one thing she likes about BCHS is that Principal Avent is involved with the students.
“I think being recognized as a BCHS Student of the Month is important, because it shows students that their hard work is not going unnoticed,” said Jabria.
Amira Northern is a freshman whose favorite subject is Honors Algebra. She cheers and is on the softball and volleyball teams. One thing she likes about BCHS is the amount of freedom she has compared to middle school.
“I think the importance of being recognized is that my efforts to be a good student and team player are being recognized, which motivates me to keep doing the best I can, and possibly motivate others around me,” said Amira. “I appreciate that I was chosen. It’s an honor and makes me feel that I’m doing a great job.”
Mollie Nuckolls is a junior whose favorite subjects are health and medical studies. She is an active member of the Beta Club, Hosa Club, and Yearbook. Mollie has also played softball and volleyball for three years. One thing she likes about BCHS is the involvement of the excellent administration.
“They always go above and beyond for us students to make learning fun,” said Mollie, who also shared the importance of being recognized. “I think the importance of being recognized as a BCHS student of the month is because it acknowledges the hard work, dedication, and positive energy I contribute to my school and my community. This acknowledgment shows my efforts and also serves as a powerful motivator to inspire me to continue to strive for excellence.”
